A Love Haunted by the Past

Marie knew little of the world outside of the dark, foreboding corners of her family home in New Orleans. She’d only ever dreamt of escape, but after her mother’s death, she finally started seeking it. She never would have imagined it would come in the form of involving herself with those bridal ads, much less moving all the way across the country to Candle Valley. There, an honorable and dedicated lawman will give her a second chance in life…

Can she open her heart to him or will her past continue to overshadow all attempts at happiness?

Daniel has lived a lonely life as a sheriff up until he meets his new Creole wife and falls hard and fast for her. Finding out the skeletons that lurk in her nightmares only further convinces him that he is meant to protect her and stand by her side. He wholeheartedly wants to build a new life with Marie and erase those shadows that haunt her…

Can he keep her safe when those nightmares become real though?

When Marie’s dark secret comes back into the picture, the couple’s faith and love are put to test. Can Daniel keep Marie safe from the past that haunts her or will their recent bliss come to a bitter end? In a test of family by blood and family found, what will win; the shadows or the candlelight?
